CHECKED BAGGAGE CANNOT EXCEED 23 OR 32 KG IN WEIGHT, DEPENDING ON THE TRAVEL CLASS AND DESTINATION, AND 158 CM IN SIZE (THE SUM OF HEIGHT + WIDTH + DEPTH).

At check-in, your baggage will be weighed and tagged with your name, itinerary, airport codes, flight numbers and dates.

We suggest that you also put your own personal luggage tag on the baggage, including your contact information, so that you can be reached in the event of a problem.

Alitalia's liability limits for lost or damaged baggage do not cover damage to valuable, fragile or perishable goods.
